How to make it

1. Step 1

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente according to package directions. Reserve ⅔ cup pasta water before draining.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter with oil. Add a generous amount of black pepper and toast until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Add ⅓ cup reserved pasta water and bring to simmer. Whisk in remaining 1 tablespoon butter and, using tongs, add pasta, tossing into butter mixture.

Step 4

Add cheeses and toss constantly until cheese is melty, removing skillet from heat when about half the cheese has melted. (If sauce is too thick, loosen with more pasta water.)

Step 5

Serve topped with more Pecorino and Parmesan.

 

2. Step 1

In a large baking dish, whisk together tequila, lime juice, garlic, and chopped jalapeño and season with salt and pepper. Add chicken and marinate in the fridge at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour.

Step 2

In a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Cook chicken until golden and no longer pink inside, about 8 minutes per side. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 3

Serve in tortillas with avocado, cabbage, sliced jalapeño, and cotija, and squeeze with lime.

 

3. Step 1

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Season shrimp all over with salt and pepper. When oil is shimmering but not smoking, add shrimp and sear until underside is golden, about 2 minutes, then flip until opaque. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 2

Reduce heat to medium and add butter. When butter has melted, stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add cherry tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook until tomatoes are beginning to burst then add spinach and cook until spinach is beginning to wilt.

Step 3

Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan and basil and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce is slightly reduced about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Return shrimp to skillet and stir to combine. Cook until shrimp is heated through, garnish with more basil and squeeze lemon on top before serving.

Make the crust: Pulse oats, almonds, and coconut flakes in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a medium bowl and fold in maple syrup, salt, and almond butter.

Grease the bottom of a 8" or 9” spring form pan with coconut oil and press crust evenly into bottom of pan.

Step 3

Make the filling: In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix coconut milk and ¾ cup sugar and heat just until sugar is dissolved. Let cool.

Step 4

In a high-powered blender, blend soaked cashews, cooled coconut milk mixture, coconut oil, and vanilla until thick and smooth. Blend in vegan cream cheese.

Pour filling mixture into crust and chill in freezer for at least 3 hours and up to overnight.

Preheat oven to 425° and brush a baking sheet with about 2 teaspoons olive oil.

12. - Disinfecting cleaning solution

- Clean water

- Distilled white vinegar

How to make it

10. Step 1

In a food processor or blender, blend water, almond butter, ginger, granulated sugar, turmeric, lemon zest, and lemon juice until combined; season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Make Ahead: Dressing can be made 5 days ahead. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate.

 

11. CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUNCH LAYER

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with parchment. Using a sharp knife, chop Oreos into chickpea-sized pieces. Transfer to a medium heatproof bowl and toss with butter. Spread onto prepared sheet and bake until fragrant and crisp, 5 to 8 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, wipe out bowl. In same bowl, microwave chips in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth, 60 to 90 seconds total. Stir in oil.

Step 3

Add cookie crumbs to chocolate mixture and toss to coat. Spread on another parchment-lined sheet and refrigerate until hardened, about 30 minutes. Chop into small pieces.

Step 4

Make Ahead: Chocolate cookie crunchies can be 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate.

 

ICE CREAM CAKE

Step 1

Line a 9" springform pan with plastic wrap. In a large bowl, stir vanilla ice cream until smooth and spreadable (but not liquid). Using an offset spatula, evenly spread in bottom of prepared pan. Freeze 30 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, uncover jar of fudge topping and microwave in 15-second increments, stirring between each, until slightly warmed and spreadable, 30 to 45 seconds total.

Step 3

Scatter chocolate crunchies on top of frozen ice cream. Dollop fudge across crunchies, then carefully spread with an offset spatula. Freeze cake until slightly firm, 15 to 30 minutes.

Step 4

In a large bowl, stir chocolate ice cream until smooth and spreadable (but not liquid). Carefully spoon over fudge layer and gently spread until smooth. Cover top of cake and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours or up to 1 week.

Step 5

About 2 hours before serving, peel off top plastic wrap layer, leaving chocolate ice cream exposed. Invert cake onto a platter, with chocolate layer at the bottom. Remove sides of springform pan and peel off remaining plastic wrap. Return to freezer while whipping cream.

Step 6

In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer on medium high-speed, beat cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Transfer about one-third of whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.

Step 7

Spread remaining whipped cream over top and sides of cake. Pipe a shell border around top edge and base of ice cream cake, if desired. (If cake starts to melt, return to freezer until firm and refrigerate whipped cream.)

Step 8

Freeze decorated cake, uncovered, 1 to 2 hours before serving.

Step 9

Just before serving, sprinkle top edge and base of cake with sprinkles. Let sit at room temperature about 5 minutes, then cut into slices with a sharp knife.

 

12. Step 1: Check Your Fridge Manual

The location of your drip pan will vary depending on what type of fridge you have, and some might not even be removable. The only way to find out is by checking your appliance's manual. But if you're a renter or didn't hold on to the paper copy, you can find a digital version with a quick internet search. Check the interior of your fridge for a manufacturer's sticker and google the model number. From there, you can find the location of your drip pan and see if you can remove it for cleaning.

 

Step 2: Clean Your Drip Pan

If your drip pan is removable, you'll either need to remove the toe kick from the front of the fridge or unscrew the back panel of the appliance. Your trusty manual will most likely offer specific instructions to help you through the process. Once you've exposed the underside of the fridge, you should easily pull out the drip pan—but make sure to do this with care. There will likely be a pool of murky, germy water that can slosh around if you're not gentle enough.

Once you've successfully excavated the drip pan, carefully pour the contents down the drain of your kitchen sink. Give the drip pan a rinse with clean water, then drain it again. Then you can hit it with cleaning products. Using either a disinfecting cleaning solution or distilled white vinegar, wipe every corner of the drip pan until it's squeaky clean. Et voila: your drip pan is clean and ready to return to its original spot.

If you cannot remove your drip pan, you can still achieve a thorough clean—it'll just require some extra work. Once you remove the toe kick or back panel, crouch down and look for the drip pan. Then, using a claw grabber or even a pair of tongs, pick up a paper towel and use it to reach in and sop up excess liquid.

Next you'll want to grab a pack of disinfecting wipes and repeat the process, replacing the wipes with fresh ones as needed, until the drip tray is clean.

 

Step 3: Pat Yourself On The Back

Seriously, that's it. With just a few simple steps, you've given your fridge a much needed refresh that'll last for months. Just make sure to set a reminder in 90 days to repeat the process.
